I agree with others on here that if you are going to shell out that much for a receiver, perhaps you go after Welker and then try to add a burner in the draft. This is not supposed to be a great year for receivers in the draft so at least one WR position will need to be addressed via free agency.

Let's put aside the fanciful talk of adding this guy and re-signing that guy for a moment and consider what all this stuff is going to cost, shall we? Let me scare you right off the bat: If the Dolphins want to add an elite wide receiver this offseason in free agency -- assuming one is even avai...

Perusing some of the Egnew draft scouting sites for last draft shows that several outlets had serious concerns regarding his NFL ability. This appears to be another example of Ireland arrogance in thinking he was smarter than everyone else. Really scary heading into a draft with so much potential to positively change the Fins and having little confidence in Ireland to do it right.

I was a guest on the Joe Rose Show this morning on local radio station WQAM when the conversation turned to the tight end position. And Rose, a former Dolphins tight end, said the Dolphins need to sign or draft someone to play the position this offseason because in part ... "I don't believe Mich...

As I get older, I have less of an ability to hold a grudge or maybe it is that we sucked for so long and I am numb. Saban didn't work out and moved on. At least he realizes he isn't pro material and I have moved on also...

The Dolphins are on the clock between now and mid March when free agency kicks off because they have between 15-17 players that are unrestricted free agents that they can sign before the free agency market opens. And I'm told the club hopes to get some deals done before the deadline, which is w...

Long aside, regarding Moore I cannot see paying him top dollar to back up. The reality is that if you are playing a back qb you are already in trouble. Why not just elevate Devlin if you think he is worth it? Otherwise, what is the use of keeping a perenial 3rd qb? How much can you really love the guy if he is always third, never plays or gets the necessary reps to improve?

I think the scary part is that Ireleand has gotten us into decent position financially but has not demonstrated the ability to find the right talent to take advantage of the situation. It would e great if the Fins brought back Tom Heckert but Ross is not savvy enough to take advantage of this situation.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Reggie Bush sumed it up best: “We just didn’t make enough plays, that pretty much sums up our season.” Indeed, the Dolphins are a team of players that don't make enough plays. The team lacks playmakers. And that, I write in my column today must be Job One for general manage...

As has already been said, when you are drafting in that area, not much to be lost or gained by either losing or winning. Better to end on a positive note, even if it is a victory over New England who will be resting their starters. Besides, a good GM should be able to pick up decent talent at that spot and hopefully we have a good GM by then...

The Dolphins are on two very interesting and divergent courses and, frankly, I'm torn about which is better. On the one hand this team that is flawed and has lost more than it has won and doesn't have an offense that scores consistently is still not out of the playoff hunt. That's right, hard as...

I agree with Mark in Toronto, Long's leverage is minimal but there are still owners who cannot help themselves and might offer him something higher than perceived value based on his history. I would hate to lose him because it is another hole to fill but I cannot see overpaying for him.

I admit it. Sometimes after a loss it's hard for me to focus on what went right. I'm a results oriented person. The NFL is a results oriented league. If the Miami Dolphins lose, I want to know why and I want to expose those reasons. But sometimes guys play well even in a loss. So allow me a coup...

@mia73 - Welker was hardly underwhelming. He was an undrafted free agent who did so well initailly with Miami that they received a number 2 pick for him. In retrospect it was a steal for New England since Samson Satelle the guy drafted by Miami with that pick was quickly discarded by the incoming Tuna...

Yes Clue I agree on McFadden and said so earlier. What is there to lose? I laugh every time I see someone use the tired Belicheat moniker. Say what you want, but you have to respect BB's coaching abilities (he needed to cheat about as much as Lance Armstrong did). The guy is very good (although I cannot stand him) and turned a perennial losing franchise into a dynasty. Having said that, I hope they never win another super bowl...

I don't believe addition by subtraction is a way to build a winner, but in Davis's case, there was reason he did not go higher in the draft and that manifested itself during his time here in Miami. I think the number two makes it worth it...

I saw in the NY Times that Bryant McFadden is practicing in North Miami awaiting a contract. Given the desperation of our secondary, why not work him out? I still don't understand why we would not take a flyer on Kellen Winslow to give Tannehill another option. Maybe it is a character/attitude issue but I cannot see the harm. Just my two cents...

"Thomas needs to work toward being a better player because, so far, his fumbling has been a disappointment. He has two fumbles, which is bad because he has played in two games and one fumble per game is a ticket to the running back unemployment line."
Armando, you have been harping on Thomas quite a bit in favor of Lamar Miller. Hurricane sentiments aside, does it not make more sense to have a better blocker with a rookie QB versus a marginally better runner? You have been harping on the 2 fumbles but Thomas was basically knocked out on the first fumble which is why he was out for the second game. I am not sure that this is as big an issue as you make it seem. Just my opinion.

Pregame before today's Dolphins game at Arizona will be interesting because the decision whether to play running back Reggie Bush will truly be made then, I'm told by a source. I expect Bush, the Dolphins leading rusher, will try to be active for the game and in his usual starting role. But one...
